2017 Ford Grand C-MAX 1.0L Petrol · FD67 FKU

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in June 2025 at 27,747 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a period of reactive repairs in 2024. While the vehicle previously failed a test due to multiple critical safety defects, the subsequent pass with no recorded advisories indicates that the owner addressed the immediate faults to bring the car back to road standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between May 2023 and June 2024, where the car covered roughly 3,100 miles in thirteen months. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can lead to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion from infrequent use. The data suggests the car has been used for short trips rather than motorway commuting. A buyer should specifically scrutinise the front suspension geometry, as the records from 2022 and 2023 highlight recurring inner edge wear on the offside front tyre. This suggests a persistent misalignment issue or worn camber bolts that may not been fully rectified. Furthermore, because the vehicle failed in 2024 with thin brake pads on all axles, a physical inspection of the brake discs is necessary to check for pitting or thinning, common in low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
